Inspired by the innovations of Theocritus, Moschus of Syracuse and Bion of Smyrna further developed the bucolic genre of poetry. Their extant works describe pastoral scenes of rural life in a classical style, composed in dactylic hexameters and Doric dialect. The three members of the bucolic canon were highly regarded throughout Greco-Roman antiquity and into the modern era. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides e Readers with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This e Book presents Moschus and Bion’s complete works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
